As an expert sommelier and brewer, I can tell you that a 32 oz growler typically holds about two pints of beer. This is equivalent to 16 fluid ounces per pint, so a 32 oz growler would hold 32 fluid ounces in total.
Now, let me share a personal experience to illustrate this. I remember visiting a local brewery and being excited to try their latest release. I decided to get a 32 oz growler fill so I could enjoy it at home. The bartender filled up the growler with two full pints of beer, which amounted to a total of 32 ounces. It was the perfect amount to savor and share with a friend.
It's worth noting that the term “growler” is often used to refer to a container typically used for transporting draft beer from a brewery or taproom. The size of a growler can vary, with the most common sizes being 32 oz (also known as a “howler”) and 64 oz (the standard size).
Now, let's talk about crowlers. A crowler is a sealed, 32 oz can that is filled with beer directly from the tap. It's a convenient option for those who want to take home a larger quantity of beer without the need for a glass container. So, in terms of volume, a crowler also holds 32 fluid ounces, which is the same as a 32 oz growler.
To summarize, both a 32 oz growler and a crowler hold 32 fluid ounces of beer, which is equivalent to two pints. Whether you prefer the traditional glass growler or the convenience of a sealed crowler, you can enjoy two pints (or four half-pints) of your favorite beer.
